All 17 Texas Constitutional Amendments Pass
Texas voters approved measures restricting taxes and funding education, water, and public safety, with key propositions passing by up to 90%, officials said.
- On Nov. 4, Texas voters approved all 17 constitutional amendments on the ballot, with all results remaining unofficial until canvassed by the Texas Secretary of State.
- Most measures on the ballot sought to restrict certain taxes or create exemptions while funding infrastructure, dementia research, workforce education, Texas State Technical College System, and the Texas Water Fund.
- Proposition 10 received about 90% support; Proposition 11 passed with roughly 79.6% for a $60,000 homestead exemption, and Proposition 13 carried with about 81.8% approval to increase the homestead exemption to $140,000.
- Adoption of these amendments mandates taxpayers fund $3 billion on Jan. 1, 2026, for Proposition 14 and requires the legislature to allocate up to $1 billion per fiscal year to Proposition 4 and raise the Proposition 13 homestead exemption to $140,000.
- Gov. Greg Abbott hailed the passage as a victory for conservative priorities, and two special elections will head to runoffs as no candidate received 50%, with Taylor Rehmet leading at 47% and Leigh Wambsganss at 36%.
